Chapter Seven Discovered

Jack and Karen turned around and faced a shocked Will and Grace.

"Karen, what are you doing here?" Grace asked.

"I-I, well I was just-" Karen stammered, completely taken aback by the intrusion.

"Um, Will, Grace," Jack began, putting a hand on Karen's back. "We have something we want to tell you."

"Oh, so there's a reason why we opened the door to find you two making out like a couple of horny teenagers?" Will said, anger in his voice.

"Look, a couple of months ago, I realized that I've had these strange feelings whenever I was around Karen," Jack said. "And after a lot of thought, I decided that I was in love with her."

"WHAT!" Will yelled. "How can you be in love with a woman? And Karen no less."

"I didn't think you would understand Wilma," Karen said. "Jack is in love with me."

"Oh, and what, you're not?" Will asked, the anger still in his voice.

Karen took Jack's hand in her own and said to Will defiantly, "I am very much in love with Jack."

"And so what, you just told each other now?" Grace said.

"We told each other on Saturday night after the party we went to," Jack

said.

"Wait, Jack I came over here on Sunday morning at three and you weren't

here," Will said.

"Why did you come here at three in the morning?" Jack asked, confused.

"I needed an extra pillowcase for Amber," Will said. "Where were you Jack?"

Jack glanced down at Karen, who nodded back at him. "I was with Karen," he answered.

"Well, how wonderful," Will said sarcastically. "Congrats to you both and may you have a long and happy life together." With that he walked out of the apartment and towards the elevator.

"What's the matter with him?" Karen asked Grace.

"I don't know," Grace said, looking surprised. "Maybe you should try and talk to him Jack."

"I think I'd rather wear a potato sack for shirt then do that," Jack said quickly.

"I guess I'm going to have to then," Grace said sighing. "I'm going to

keep the office closed today Karen. Let Kat know, will you?"

"Wait a second Grace," Karen said before she could leave the apartment.

"What do you think about this?"

Grace sighed again and said, "I really don't mind, and I am glad you two are happy together."

"Thanks Grace," Jack said.

"I'm going to go talk with Will," Grace said. "I'll call you guys later." With that she turned and left the apartment.

"Jackie," Karen said a few minutes later. "Shouldn't we tell her that you're moving into the penthouse?"

"Oh yeah," Jack said. "I'll go and catch up to Grace, go and tell Kat there's no work for you guys today." He then kissed Karen quickly on the cheek and left the apartment.

Karen picked up her overnight bag and left Jack's apartment, locking it

behind her. She walked over to Katherine's and knocked on the door. After a few minutes, when no one had opened the door, she knocked louder this time.

Again, no one answered the door, so she turned and went to the elevator, going down.

"Hey Kare," Katherine called when she had stepped out of the apartment building.

"I was just at your place, where were you?" Karen asked.

"I had to run a few errands," Katherine said. "I saw Jack and Grace, they're around the corner. So they found out about you guys?"

"Yeah, and I don't think I've ever seen Will so upset," Karen said. "He couldn't be jealous because I'm dating Jack, could he?"

"I think it's a different kind of jealousy if that's what it is," Katherine said.

"Grace said she's going to talk to Will at lunch," Jack said, coming up

to Katherine and Karen.

"Well, I guess I'll head up to my apartment," Katherine said. "Enjoy your day off Kare."

"Wait a second Kat," Jack said, grabbing her arm as she started to walk

away from them. "Spend the day with us. Or at least until you need to get

Amber from school."

"Well, I have an appointment at two o'clock," Katherine said. "But I'm

sure I can tag along with you both until then."

"Great honey, lets go out for breakfast, my treat," Karen said, putting

her arm through Jack's.

At twelve o'clock, Will was putting some papers on his desk in order before he left for lunch. There was a knock on the door and he said absently, "Come in."

"Hungry at all Will?" Grace asked, coming into the office.

"Oh, hey Gracie," Will said, looking up. "I was just going to leave."

"I went to that deli on 103rd and got you a pastrami," Grace said. "And I think we should talk about this morning."

Will sighed and sat down in his chair as Grace took out their sandwiches.

"Ok Will," Grace said, sitting down in the chair in front of the desk.

"I want to know why you're so upset about Jack and Karen being together."

"I don't know..." Will said, running his hand over his face. "Well, I guess it's because it's Karen, a woman, that he's decided to be with. You see Gracie, when I first met Jack, he was always encouraging me about 'coming out,' and now that he's with Karen..."

"You think he's betrayed his ideals?" Grace suggested.

"Very Shakespearean, but yeah, I guess that's it," Will said.

"But you saw that he was very sincere when he said he loved Karen," Grace said.

"Yeah, but does this mean he's bisexual, or what?" Will said. "I guess

another reason I'm so upset is because I am very confused right now."

"I am too Will," Grace said. "But right now we should be supporting them and whatever they decide to do together."

"I have a feeling that's leading into something," Will said.

Grace took a deep breath and then said, "Jack is moving into Karen's penthouse."

Will didn't say anything, but he stood up and went over to the window.

"Well, I guess that he's really serious about this then," he said. "And I guess I should just get used to it."

"That's good," Grace said as Will walked back to his chair and sat down. "But you need to talk with Jack and let him know you're okay with it."

"Later, right now I'm starving," Will said.

"Kath," Karen said. "How long are you going to stay here, drooling over the books?"

The three of them were in an old bookstore, looking through the shelves.

"You know, I think I prefer newer books to these kind," Jack said, taking down.

Karen's cellphone rang just then, and she hurriedly answered it, going further back into the store.

"Kat, think I can ask you a favor?" Jack said, waiting until Karen was out of hearing range.

"What's that?" Katherine asked absentmindedly.

"I was thinking of asking Karen to marry me on Christmas," Jack said.

"You're going to-" Katherine started to say.

"That was the company," Karen said, coming back. "I forgot I had a meeting to go today. So I need to go."

"Oh, okay," Jack said.

"I'll call you after I'm done," Karen said, kissing Jack on the cheek.

"Bye Kath."

"Bye Kare," Katherine called. When she was gone, Katherine turned to Jack and hissed, "You're going to ask her to marry you? What happened to not rushing things?"

"We've known each other for a long time Kat," Jack said. "And I'm not going to ask her now, I'll be asking at Christmas."

"Come on, let's go outside," Katherine said. She grabbed Jack's arm and pulled him through the store. "Okay then, so you want to propose, I understand that. But what's the favor you want me to do?"

"Come with me to buy a ring," Jack said quickly.

"And are you expecting me to pay for it?" Katherine asked.

"No, I'm going to use the money that I would have used for this month's

rent on my apartment," Jack answered, smiling broadly.

"All right then," Katherine said sighing. "Let's go."
